Diplomacy & international policy

The next generation of creative, well-trained foreign policy leaders is studying at the Ford School. Through our International Policy Center and Weiser Diplomacy Centers, we bring high-profile leaders in foreign affairs to campus, including Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Steve Biegun, Malala Yousafzai, and H.R. McMaster. We host professors of practice in international diplomacy, distinguished leaders who teach, mentor, and inspire our students. We develop and host simulations and other practical opportunities for students to grapple with issues such as environmental diplomacy and countering violent extremism. We support student-initiated projects, internships, and travel around the world. We offer competitive fellowships to top graduate students, awarding up to $25,000 per year.
